"What? We have to take a detour?"

In the monitoring room, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the words of the dark-skinned youth in front of him.

“Yes, the space station was given to you by Ms. Black Tower. I must prioritize the safety of the main control module and the crew, so I have to trouble you all to take a longer route. I’m very sorry,” the injured Alan said slowly.

"It's nothing, it's just a slightly longer route, it won't cause any problems," March 7th replied.

Zhou Xiao checked the time. There was still about an hour before dinner, which seemed a bit tight. It would be a loss if he missed the opportunity to gain self-discipline points.

"Let's go."

Zhou Xiao didn't say anything more.

...

Originally, Alan wanted to stay in the monitoring room to avoid being a burden, but after being persuaded by March 7 and others, he left as well.

On this journey, March 7th witnessed Zhou Xiao actually taking action to clear out the antimatter legion, a rare occurrence. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, her small mouth opened, and she muttered something to herself.

"Did this guy really... listen to me?"

Obviously.

March 7th thought that Zhou Xiao had taken her earlier sarcastic remarks about him being unreliable to heart.

"My words...are they that important to him? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that I said something too harsh?"

On March 7th, I still had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

You see, she had argued with Zhou Xiao quite a bit on the train, and although she lost every time, she was certain that Zhou Xiao would never listen to her advice.

She held a longbow and looked at Zhou Xiao, who was handling things with ease, not far away, with some suspicion.

It must be said that Zhou Xiao is quite charming in battle. His face, which is even more handsome than Dan Heng's, never shows any panic or confusion, giving people a strong sense of security.

Um...

When they get serious, they can be quite reliable.

This is how March 7th described it.

Just as she was stunned, a raider rushed towards her, and then a dark red longsword swept past her, the sharp blade slicing open the raider's neck as easily as chopping a melon.

By the time March 7th realized what was happening, the looters were already being carried away.

Looking at Zhou, the logistics officer, she surprisingly found him not so unpleasant after all; on the contrary, he was even somewhat agreeable, until...

"What are you looking at? Stop slacking off! My eyes are sharp!" Zhou Xiao said.

He had noticed something was off about March 7th immediately. He knew at a glance that the little airport worker was slacking off, and what was worse, he was even spacing out while slacking off—a major taboo in combat...

"I...you..."

After stammering for a long time, the girlish fantasy of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress that she had painstakingly built up in her heart was instantly shattered.

"What a vicious mouth, what a vicious heart..." March 7th's melancholy jpg.

...

Are the two of them... really not related at all?

The battles were usually handled by Dan Heng and Zhou Xiao, leaving Xing Mei with some free time. She noticed the interaction between San Yueqi and Zhou Xiao, and seeing San Yueqi's resentful expression, she realized she had wanted to help after San Yueqi was attacked, but she wasn't as fast as Zhou Xiao's blade...

There's a story behind it, there's a story behind it.

Xingmei first looked at March 7th and then at Zhou Xiao, her face showing a "watching the drama unfold" expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression?" March 7th noticed Xingmei's odd expression and spoke up.

"Nothing..." Star Girl eating melon (image) 2.

"Look at you..."

...

With Zhou Xiao's intervention, the battle became much easier, and they quickly reached the elevator entrance on the upper floor.

"Unbelievable! It usually takes at least twenty minutes to get to the elevator on the upper floor, yet we arrived here in less than twenty minutes despite the antimatter legion's invasion..."

Alan was somewhat surprised; he would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

All of this is inextricably linked to the man wielding the long sword before them...

Zhou, the logistics officer...

Are all the support staff on the train this capable?

Alan remained silent.

To be fair, even he, the head of the defense department, couldn't match Zhou Xiao's combat capabilities.

No... how about trying to win them over?

Alan felt that Zhou Xiao was wasting his talents by working as a logistics officer on the train.

"Anyway, we've finally arrived."

Seeing the elevator entrance made March 7th feel much better.

Before she could finish speaking, a metal arrow flew through the air at such a speed that it was difficult to react.

"careful!"

The metal gun handle in Dan Heng's hand blocked the arrow, but the immense force transmitted by the arrow made him struggle, and in the end, the arrow flew past his body.

As they came into view, a creature resembling a massive centaur appeared.

Tramplers.

Zhou Xiao had also seen its information in the think tank.

While watching, he was thinking about one question.

When a centaur is pregnant, is the upper half of its belly bigger, or the lower half? He later shared this question with Danheng, who said it wasn't worth discussing.

"Our idea... is really unlucky," March 7th sighed.

The Trample is much more troublesome than a regular antimatter soldier...

"Prepare for battle." Dan Heng was completely focused.

Xingmei also pulled out the metal baseball bat, looking ready for a big battle.

"We're really in a rush..."

Zhou Xiao bent his knees slightly, like a taut longbow gathering a lot of power, and held the long knife he picked up from Kafka's hand in his other hand.

A gust of air brushed across everyone's faces, and the next second Zhou Xiao disappeared from the spot. What followed was a hideous cut on the upper body of the trampler, piercing through most of his body.

"!"

It's even faster now.

Dan Heng was somewhat surprised.

As the person who knew Zhou Xiao's strength best among those present, he clearly sensed that the speed of Zhou Xiao's strike was several times faster than when they sparred in the past.

The trampling creature struggled before dying, its gaping mouth about to roar. Zhou Xiao, who was facing the group and was about to sheathe his sword, suddenly realized something and said to everyone:

"Smack its mouth! Smack its mouth!"

But unfortunately...

The trampling creature roared, and in an instant, a large number of phantom soldiers were summoned, densely packed, roughly estimated to be no less than twenty.

That was too hasty...

Upon seeing these seemingly random pawns appear out of nowhere, Zhou Xiao silently uttered a thought to himself.

He had seen the materials in the think tank...

But I just forgot to sever the trampler's head first...

"It's over, it's over, we're doomed." Even March 7th felt weak in the knees when he saw the scene.

"I'll provide cover, you escort Alan to rush over and meet up with Zhou Xiao!" Dan Heng said to San Yueqi and Xing Mei, holding a long spear.
